One person in this dispute said u can change back from being a werewolf, but u can't. The truth is that I am a lvl 81 nord werewolf (because vampire lord wasn't put in the game at the time) and I never used the transformation. It's because I was more powerful in my human form then in my beast form. And being a werewolf for a long time will make u want to become a vampire. Personally I enjoy being a vampire lord more because I was a werewolf for such a long time. While being a vampire has more cons, it also has good pros. Each stage ur powers progress further and in a fight between a vampire lord and werewolf is a tough one. Yes a werewolf has brute strength but vampire has magic to use to his advantage like telekinesis. He can stop the werewolf and throw him back. He can also use mist form and bats which can use to slip away if the werewolf is all up in his face. But if the werewolf does get a chance he will use it do serious damage. So it would be a close one. What do u guys think?

Well I think Werewolf is weaker. I dont't know why, but I prefer not to be Vampire Lord, it just is not my play style.I love being a Werewolf, run around Skyrim at night attacking damn Forsworn for killing Frost.Now in my opinion, Werewolf perks are better.

Oh, I just found out that you can get a ring that lets you infinitely transform into a werewolf.... Pretty cool, that would make that werewolf allot better.Actually It does allow as many as you want I once did like 10 in one day with itMan... the vampire needs something like that...

The Ring of Hircine doesn't allow infinite transforms, it just allows 1 more transformation per day.

Werewolf for sure. Though the Vampire lord has magic, I find the werewolve's howl more useful. I have completely maxed out my werewolf, and let me just say that nothing is more fun than howling and watching your enemies flee as you run them down.

It is impossible to say which is better. The vampire has its drawbacks and advantages as does the werewolf. All I have to say, is that even when I had an extremely powerful Spellsword (or is it a battle mage? I can never tell) my werewolf form was always a bit more of my "style". I mean, if you use it right and work within your means. You are pretty hard to beat. (Defeating 2 dragons, 2 giants, and 3 mammoths in one battle is something that would have taken me like 30 minutes to do in human form, it was finished in only 30 seconds.) Of course, the Dawnguard bonuses may have made Werewolves a bit more realistic to play as at higher levels.

They both have their own play style which makes them better for different players, but mechanically speaking, Vampire Lord is better.

It's also my favourite, but that may be the power gamer in me speaking.

What makes Vampire Lord better than Werewolf?

1: Transformations, Vampire Lords can transform whenever they want an infinite number of times per day, they can also end their transformation whenever they want. Werewolves may only transform a maximum of twice per day, once they have the Cursed Ring of Hircine, and only one of them is activated by the player. The transformation from the Ring, is automatic, once you're a Werewolf, you can't turn back until the duration ends and if you're like me and continuously slaughter everything before eating it's heart out, it can last for days. If there are no hearts to eat, then Werewolf Transformation doesn't last long enough.2: Powers, Vampire Lords get to switch between any of their special Vampire Powers by using the Favourites menu, any time they're transformed. They also get to switch from melee to ranged/magic and vice versa. Werewolves must complete the entire Companions Questline in order to be able to accept a sidequest to find an item they can activate any time they're not currently transformed, to swap their powers. They can only have one Howl at a time.3: Mobility, Vampire Lords are faster and can hover over water. Werewolves are fast, but not as fast as Vampire Lords and they have to swim.

And yeah, those are also the reasons I prefer Vampire Lord over Werewolf.
